Samsung Creates New TV Receiver Chip

By Ian Bell Updated January 12, 2005

By implementing the company’s proprietary algorithm, the S5H1406 offers quick access to signals that reduce transmission interference. The S5H1406 also offers an advanced demodulator and synchronization detector, high performance equalizer and Forward Error Correction (FEC).

Last July, Samsung announced its completion of development of a SoC device S5H2200 that integrates a dual MPEG-2 decoder, CPU and the company’s proprietary image improvement function known as the DNIe, or “Digital Natural Image engine.”

“With the highly-integrated SoC device for digital TV we introduced last year, Samsung now offers a total solution in the digital TV area, from broadcast reception to image playback and image quality enhancement,” said Dojun Rhee, vice president of Samsung Electronics’ SoC R&D Center.

In independent field tests, the S5H1406 succeeded in acquiring and tracking the signals of five domestic terrestrial digital TV broadcasts. Based on the overall evaluation, Samsung’s advanced receiver chip exceeds current levels of reception performance in the marketplace today.

Samsung’s S5H1406 digital TV receiver chip will be made available to customers in Asia in the first quarter of 2005.

Is 4th of July or Prime Day a better time to buy a new TV?

If you're looking to buy a new TV, you'll want to take advantage of the best TV deals around. Prime Day is starting on July 11 and running through July 12 but then again, we've also got 4th of July celebrations just a week before. So what do you do? When do you buy? Below, we've taken a look at what to expect so you know when to buy a new TV for the best discount. Obviously, if your current TV has just died and you need one fast, it's pretty obvious what to do.

Knowing when to buy is actually fairly simple when it comes to a July purchase. It might seem like it matters but there's actually not much difference between Prime Day TV deals and 4th of July TV deals. That's because the same discounts tend to run during both events and given there's just a week before the two, it's simple for retailers as well as Amazon to keep the discounts flowing. Amazon tends to offer early Prime Day deals so this lines up perfectly with their existing plans anyhow. Other retailers are likely to offer week-long sales to team things up together.
